A pedestrian crossing a Midtown street Tuesday afternoon was hit by a taxi and pinned beneath the vehicle.

A puddle of blood next to a crosswalk on 6th Avenue marked the spot where the woman was struck as she crossed the wide avenue. A taxi turning left from W. 38th Street clipped the woman moments after she stepped off the sidewalk.

It was unclear if the pedestrian was jaywalking, but a witness said the woman did not appear to be paying attention as she crossed the busy street.

She was freed from under the vehicle, and rushed to Bellevue Hospital, officials said.

The incident comes in the wake of several pedestrian deaths on the Upper West Side and an ensuing NYPD crackdown on jaywalkers and drivers.
